I think 100yds is reasonable based on my experience with it. maybe with better scope 150+ yds...just have to call them in a little closer before letting them have it. =)

I was really wanting the snow to stay on, but have no control over that. I don't coyote hunt much with no snow on the groung. From my experience as soon as you put a light on them, they are like Casper. They disappear. It's going to be fun no matter what tho !!!

I can have my 22-250 1 inch high at 100 yds/dead zero at 200 yds and it only drops around 4" at 300 yds and is only 1/4 inch high at 50 yds....I just check it this past Friday.....any coyote from 25yds to 300 yds is pretty much hold dead on and kill.... Ive done this zero with it for years, and it is deadly...55 gr Winchester Ballistic tips... "Liberalism is a mental disorder"
